ACCEPTANCE OF TELEMEDICINE IN PEDIATRIC RHEUMATOLOGY: A NATIONAL SURVEY OF PEDIATRICIANS. Kathleen Jo E. Corbin, Lisa G. Suter. Section of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.

We hypothesized that physicians practicing in settings with decreased access to pediatric rheumatology would perceive …

Rural Community Characteristics, Economic Hardship, And Peer And Parental Influences In Early Adolescent Alcohol Use, Laura De Haan, Tina Boljevac, Kurt Schaefer Sep 2010

Rural Community Characteristics, Economic Hardship, And Peer And Parental Influences In Early Adolescent Alcohol Use, Laura De Haan, Tina Boljevac, Kurt Schaefer

University Faculty Publications and Creative Works

The study explores how differences in rural community contexts relate to early adolescent alcohol use. Data were gathered from 1,424 adolescents in the sixth through eighth grades in 22 rural Northern Plains communities, as well as 790 adults, parents, teachers, and community leaders. Multilevel modeling analyses revealed that community supportiveness, as perceived by adolescents, but not adults, was associated with less lifetime and past month alcohol use, and for past month use, this relationship was stronger than perceived peer drinking or parental closeness. Perceived peer drinking and parental closeness were not associated with past month use. Adolescents experiencing family economic …

Where Have You Gone? : The Function Of Emotional Proximity In The Bereavement Experiences Of Adult Children Who Have Lost A Parent To Suicide : A Project Based Upon An Independent Investigation, Christie Robin Coy

Theses, Dissertations, and Projects

This study was undertaken to look at the ways in which adult children suicide survivors made meaning of their losses by exploring emotional proximity, defined by the researcher for this study as the history, quality, and characteristics of the relationship between adult child and parent at the time of the suicide. The purpose was to elucidate the bereavement experiences of this little-studied subgroup of survivors. Seven adult children survivors from the Boston metropolitan area shared their stories of parental loss through a two-fold process that included completion of a demographic questionnaire and participation in semi-structured, open-ended interviews.

Mechanisms Of Interleukin-1â Production In Chlamydia Trachomatis Infected Placental Trophoblasts, Crina Marie Boeras

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

MECHANISMS OF INTERLEUKIN-1â PRODUCTION IN CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS INFECTED TROPHOBLASTS. Crina M. Boeras, Vikki Abrahams, and Paula B. Kavathas. Department of Laboratory Medicine, Yale University, School of Medicine, New Haven, CT. In a normal pregnancy the immune system plays the critical task of protecting the fetus from the constant threat posed by pathogens while limiting the effects of the mothers immune response on the fetus itself. Viral and bacterial infections can cause preterm labor and intrauterine growth restriction, and the placental trophoblasts express pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) to help detect invading pathogens and initiate an effective immune response. Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) …

The Emotional Guardianship Of Foreign-Born And Native-Born Hispanic Youth And Its Effect On Violent Victimization, Amy Sheena Eggers Sep 2010

The Emotional Guardianship Of Foreign-Born And Native-Born Hispanic Youth And Its Effect On Violent Victimization, Amy Sheena Eggers

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This study seeks to expand the scope of assimilation theory by integrating it with elements of routine activities theory to better understand what influence assimilation has in regard to violent victimization. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to determine whether or not differences in victimization rates between foreign-born and native-born Hispanic youth are related to variations in emotional guardianship. Emotional guardianship refers to the aspect of relationships (i.e., affection and communication) between Hispanic youth and their parents that serve to protect the youth from being victimized. I hypothesize that foreign-born Hispanics have greater emotional guardianship than native-born Hispanics, and …

Little Rock Woman's Christian Temperance Union, 1888 To 1903, Jane Ann Wilkerson Sep 2010

Little Rock Woman's Christian Temperance Union, 1888 To 1903, Jane Ann Wilkerson

Theses and Dissertations

In discussions about the women's rights, organizations such as the National Organization for Women or the National American Woman Suffrage Association often overshadow the contributions of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). Most know of the WCTU's efforts against alcohol but little is known about the group's work toward woman's suffrage. In fact, the Little Rock organization became one of the WCTU's strongest local unions. It worked to change the lives of women and children not only in the city, but also statewide. Members' skills and unique backgrounds helped the union reach many of its goals. During these efforts it …

Data Governance: A Study Of The Current State And Emerging Trends, Wendell Scott Dismute Sep 2010

Data Governance: A Study Of The Current State And Emerging Trends, Wendell Scott Dismute

Theses and Dissertations

Data Governance processes, whether informal or formal, are existent in most organizations today. Data governance has become increasingly more important as the size of organizations has increased and enterprise data have become more complex. Poor data quality, poor decision-making, and policy and compliance issues have motivated organizations to explore and implement data governance programs. Organizations seek data governance programs that have clearly defined goals, processes for creating standards and policies, and metrics in place to measure progress. This research will examine data governance's relationship with other data-related disciplines such as data quality and data stewardship. This research introduces the 4P …

A History Of Argenta: The Making Of A Historic District, Sara Drew Sep 2010

A History Of Argenta: The Making Of A Historic District, Sara Drew

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to examine the development of historic districts in the United States and to then use the case study of Argenta to draw specific conclusions about the implementation and effectiveness of the historic district approach. The traditional history of most historic districts has been well-documented, but there are few studies of historic districts as unique objects. Making extensive use of primary sources, especially newspaper articles, this study traces the downtown North Little Rock area from the devastating impact of urban renewal in the 1960s and 1970s, crime in the 1980s and revival starting in the …

Gender Bias As Evidenced On Political Blogs In The 2008 Presidential Election, Lori Ann Gardner Sep 2010

Gender Bias As Evidenced On Political Blogs In The 2008 Presidential Election, Lori Ann Gardner

Theses and Dissertations

Political blogs played a significant role in the 2008 presidential election serving not only as news sources on the latest political coverage, but also as communities where people expressed political opinions, interacted with others who shared similar beliefs, as well as attempt to persuade and influence the audience members, often making calls to action. A rhetorical analysis, drawing from gendered mediation and frame theory, of 183 political blog posts revealed that gendered mediation was quite common on blog posts in the 2008 presidential election. Further, the mediation was often followed by gendered discourse that was much more blatant in content …

Toward A Retention-Focused Compostion Pedagogy: The Composition Classroom As A Space To Promote Retention, Mark Isbell

Theses and Dissertations

Retention scholarship and theory is discussed, synthesized, and brought into juxtaposition with concepts and practices of composition pedagogy in order to elicit an understanding of the role that composition pedagogy might play in retention initiatives. Surveys conducted at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock Department of Creative Writing are drawn on to determine what practices might be seen as "retention friendly" in light of the review of retention scholarship. Empirical data is described that shows a correlation between participation in composition classes at UALR and increased student retention. A readily accessible theoretical model is offered for use by composition …

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Il a déjà été démontré que des manutentionnaires d’expérience, reconnus par leurs collègues comme étant des experts, ont développé des façons de faire différentes de celles des novices qui pourraient être à la fois sécuritaires et plus efficientes. Les auteurs croient que ces façons de faire pourraient inspirer l’élaboration de programmes de formation mieux adaptés au travail. Pour les fins de cette étude des experts en manutention et des travailleurs novices ont été invités à reproduire en laboratoire leurs façons de faire dans des conditions de travail variées. Cela a permis aux chercheurs de recueillir des données biomécaniques et de …
